On Friday's Backchat: Covd-19 jabs for teenagers; and the Election Committee subsector elections.
Expert advisers to the government have changed their guidance on Hong Kong teenagers getting vaccinated against Covid-19, saying they need only one BioNTech jab instead of two.
The change comes after more than 30 young people experienced inflammation of the heart as a suspected side-effect of the injection since those aged between 12 and 17 began receiving the shots in June.
After 9:15am, we’re looking ahead to the Election Committee Subsector elections which will take place this Sunday.
